Here are some clarifications on Plumbing Services for those of us who have an interest-do not conflate this with anything else.

1. A Plumbing Service is very similar to a plumber in that it is an individual who installs plumbing systems in buildings or residential properties, but only the latter term refers specifically to residential properties.

2. A “plumber” is an individual who repairs or installs plumbing systems in buildings or commercial properties. A “plumber” does not refer to the act of installing plumbing systems, but to the person who performs the installation.

3. A plumber may be part of a larger service company, like a general contractor (for building renovations) or an electrician (for electrical installations). Plumbing services are often contracted for by homeowners; however, they can also be contracted directly. Many plumbers now offer their services as an addition to “service plans” for home renovations and home maintenance packages offered by hardware stores and big-box chains like Home Depot and Lowe’s.

5. Plumbing Certification & Licensing. Plumbing certification is given by local licensing authorities (usually the government) to ensure that plumbers are qualified to do their work. Many areas do not require plumbing certification for household or residential repair or replacement jobs; other areas do, and this may depend on what type of job you’re doing. At the very least, plumbing certification will protect you from your homeowner’s insurance company if you’re caught working on your own home without professional training and experience.

6. Even in a city that doesn’t require certification, there are still a lot of plumbers who aren’t competent and would do a terrible job fixing your plumbing.

7. In addition to licensing requirements, you can also find out if your area requires licenses for specific types of plumbing installation services. For example, many cities have ordinances requiring licensed electricians to handle electrical installations in addition to being licensed as plumbers. Check with your city’s website or call their local building department for more information.

Additional Requirements for Plumbing Services. Additional requirements for plumbing services may include additional certifications or testing required by the city, state, or federal government. For example, based on the type of work being done, certain states require workers to be registered with the state’s occupational safety and health division (OSHA).
